The 2020 update of the European strategy for particle physics forms the basis of CERN’s objectives for the next five years, explains CERN Director-General Fabiola Gianotti.
Read article 'A long-lived paradigm shift'
Experimentalists and theorists met from 16 to 19 November for the eighth workshop of the LHC's long-lived particles community.
Read article 'Strong interest in feeble interactions'
The FIPs 2020 workshop was structured around portals that may link the Standard Model to a rich dark sector: axions, dark photons, dark scalars and heavy neutral leptons.
Read article 'In pursuit of right-handed photons'
The presence of new virtual particles could be clearly signalled by a right-handed contribution to the photon polarisation.
Read article 'Leptoquarks and the third generation'
In a recent CMS analysis researchers have challenged the Standard Model by investigating a previously unexplored leptoquark signature.
Read article 'Sensing a passage through the unknown'
A global network of ultra-sensitive optical atomic magnetometers – GNOME – has begun its search for exotic fields beyond the Standard Model.
